Quick answer
For US shoppers comparing whole-bean coffee, Lavazza Super Crema is listed at $21.49, while Death Wish is listed at $17.58 and is $8.03 lower in the current registry snapshot. The Death Wish title names a 16-ounce dark-roast package and uses organic and Fair Trade wording; the captured Lavazza record does not provide a package weight. That means a reliable per-ounce comparison is not possible from the current evidence. Verify package weight, roast, dates, seller, seal, and current price before ordering. No independent taste, freshness, caffeine, extraction, or certification test was performed, so neither product is presented as a universal flavor winner.
Death Wish is $8.03 cheaper and names a 16-ounce dark-roast package; Lavazza's captured record lacks package weight. Verify the live bag before comparing value.

Price and package information
Lavazza Super Crema is listed at $21.49. Death Wish is listed at $17.58 and is $8.03 lower in the snapshot. Both captured records identify whole-bean coffee.
The Death Wish title names a 16-ounce package, while the captured Lavazza record does not provide a package weight. Do not calculate a per-ounce winner until the live package weights match.
Roast and label wording
The Death Wish title uses dark-roast, organic, and Fair Trade wording. Those are captured listing terms, not independent certification or flavor evidence. Verify current package labels, certification marks, and seller details before relying on them.
The captured Lavazza title says Super Crema but does not supply enough evidence here to compare roast level, origin, processing, tasting notes, or freshness. Check the current bag and roast information for the selected variation.
Freshness and buying checks
Coffee freshness depends on the package date, seal, storage, seller handling, and delivery timing. Check the live listing for roast or best-by information, package condition, and return terms where available.
Whole-bean coffee also requires a grinder and brew setup, but this comparison does not test grind consistency, extraction, water, equipment, or storage. Use the product instructions and your own brewing method.
Rating and buyer evidence
Lavazza shows 4.5 stars from 39,794 reviews in the snapshot. Death Wish shows 4.6 stars from 19,020. These are retailer feedback-pool figures, not controlled evidence of taste, freshness, caffeine, or brewing performance.
Prices, package sizes, roast labels, sellers, dates, and availability can change. Recheck the selected variation and delivered price before ordering.
Choosing between the two
Choose Lavazza when its verified package details and Super Crema format fit your routine and justify the higher snapshot price. Choose Death Wish when its verified 16-ounce dark-roast format, label details, and lower price fit better.
Neither is a universal taste winner. Compare current package information and freshness signals instead of treating ratings or roast words as a substitute for tasting.
Alternatives
Subtle Earth is a separate two-pound medium-dark-roast option, while Peet's is a separate 18-ounce dark-roast option. They are not silent replacements for either primary coffee; verify package, roast, freshness, and current price.
What this comparison does not test
No independent test was performed for flavor, aroma, freshness, caffeine, acidity, extraction, grind, origin, certification, or long-term storage. The recommendations are limited to registry facts and captured listing wording.
Choose the coffee whose verified package, roast, freshness information, and current price match the brew setup. Treat the live product page and package as the final sources.
